50 Cities Where Nurse Practitioners Earn The Most Money

Here’s how we found the highest-paying cities for nurse practitioner salaries. By using occupational and salary data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for registered nurse practitioners, we broke down mean annual wages by metro area, which is the smallest geographical unit the BLS tracks for wages. While nurse practitioner salaries vary by state, they can vary even more on the city level.

Places Where Nurse Practitioners Earn the Most Money

Salaries often tend to track the overall cost of living of a certain geographical area. If a city’s cost of living is notably higher than the U.S. average, then incomes tend to be higher there as well. With registered nurse practitioners’ salaries, this is true as well, though with some interesting geographic variation. For instance, Southern cities tend to pay lower incomes in general due to lower cost of living. However, several Southern cities like Alexandria, Louisiana and Hattiesburg, Mississippi — places not known for high incomes — appear among the top-50 places where nurse practitioner salaries are highest.

How Much Do Nurse Practitioners Make a Year in the Top-Paying Cities

As with many other occupations, California cities make up much of the list of the top-paying cities for nurse practitioners. However, there is great geographical variety. Cities like Yuma, Arizona and Springfield, Ohio are a bit unexpected. Check out the list below of the 50 cities where nurse practitioner salaries are the highest:

What happened to me — and continues to happen to countless others — is needless but likely inevitable in the toxic culture we’ve created and perpetuate.

It’s time for all of us to speak up against the notion that nurses are commodities and against the collateral damage of toxic corporate health care. Start sharing your stories about burnout, post-traumatic stress, and the dangers of metrics-based health care. Something’s got to give, and it shouldn’t be the well-being of caregivers.
